Podere Le Ripi Sogni e Follia Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2021

Sogni e Follia Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2021 is a wine that in many ways raises the bar for what one can expect from a Rosso. It is made from 100% Sangiovese from vineyards with deep alluvial soil, rich in silt and sand, mixed with gravel and limestone rock alberese – a terroir that provides grapes with both structure and freshness.

The aroma is intense and complex with ripe cherries, strawberries, and violet, leading to hints of wild herbs.

The taste is truly structured and refined, with a broad and smooth mouthfeel, fine acidity, and a persistent, elegant aftertaste.

This is a Rosso di Montalcino that approaches the character of its bigger brother, Brunello!

Ideal for a good piece of meat, game dishes, or mature cheeses.

Enjoy it now, with a little air – or store it for 3-5 years, where it will develop further complexity.

The wine is fermented and macerated for 20 days in large open oak casks, allowing for gentle extraction of color and tannin. Subsequently, it is aged for a full 24 months in large Slavonian barrels and then an additional eight months in cement, where it is allowed to find its balance without the influence of wood.
